Lean Six Sigma Methodology seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization with the use of a hierarchy of Lean Six Sigma Belts and Lean Six Sigma Certification<\/a> levels called Black Belts, Green Belts, Yellow Belts, White Belts, and Champions who are experts in the methods.<\/p>\nLean Six Sigma Methodology asserts that:<\/h3>\n\n- Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results (i.e., reduce process\u00a0variation) are of vital importance to business success.<\/li>\n
- Manufacturing and business processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, controlled and improved.<\/li>\n
- Achieving sustained quality improvement requires commitment from the entire organization, particularly from top-level management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Features that set Lean Six Sigma apart from previous quality improvement initiatives include:<\/h4>\n\n- A clear focus on achieving measurable and quantifiable financial returns from any Lean Six Sigma project.<\/li>\n
- An increased emphasis on strong and passionate management leadership and support.<\/li>\n
- A clear commitment to making decisions on the basis of verifiable data and statistical methods, rather than assumptions and guesswork.<\/li>\n
- In recent years, practitioners have combined Lean Six Sigma ideas with\u00a0Lean Manufacturing\u00a0to create a methodology named\u00a0Lean Six Sigma Certification. \u00a0The Lean Lean Six Sigma methodology views lean manufacturing, which addresses process flow and waste issues, and Lean Six Sigma, with its focus on variation and design, as complementary disciplines aimed at promoting “business and operational excellence”.\u00a0Companies such as GE,\u00a0Verizon, GENPACT, and IBM use Lean Lean Six Sigma to focus transformation efforts not just on efficiency but also on growth.

Lean Six Sigma Methodologies<\/h3>\n
Lean Six Sigma projects follow two project methodologies inspired by\u00a0Deming’s\u00a0Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle. These methodologies, composed of five phases each, bear the acronyms DMAIC and DMADV.<\/b><\/p>\n\n- DMAIC\u00a0is used for projects aimed at improving an existing business process. \u00a0DMAIC is pronounced as “duh-may-ick” (<\u02ccd\u028c \u02c8me\u026a \u026ak>).<\/li>\n
